New information has emerged about the most eagerly awaited wedding of the year. The "Jornal de Notícias" (source in Portuguese) obtained the marriage certificate of Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez, reporting that the civil ceremony took place at the couple's home in Cascais on Tuesday 11 August, at 1.30 pm.
On site, in addition to their five children,as had initially been revealed by the agency representing the player, there were also four witnesses. They were Miguel Paixão, a friend of the footballer since his youth days at Sporting, Ivana Rodríguez, Georgina's sister, and Jose Rodríguez Sangil and Monica Gonzalez Martinez, a Spanish jeweller and his wife.
The marriage was formalised by Maria Manuel Folhadela de Oliveira, a registrar who travelled from the city of Porto to perform the ceremony.
The document also reveals that the Portuguese footballer and his wife opted for the separation of property regime (source in Portuguese). Under this arrangement, each spouse generally retains as their own the assets they already held before the wedding, as well as those they acquire afterwards.
However, the separation of property regime is not the default model for marriages in Portugal and, to choose it, couples must sign a prenuptial agreement. In Cristiano and Georgina's case, the document shows that this agreement was signed the day before the ceremony, at a notary's office in Lisbon.
